   Just like HOWE it sez in your FREE copy of The   
   Amazing Puppy Wizard's FREE WWW Wits' End   
   Dog Training Method Manual, eh Disciple Paulie?   
      
      
   "One four minute session of obedience work,   
   done properly, will prevent behavior problems   
   for 48-72 hours. It's in the manual."   
                     Jerry "Moonbeam" Howe   
      
      
     Disciple Paulie Sez: "No One Understands How Wits End   
     Training Really Works, They Assume It's All Nicey Nicey   
     And don't Realise It's A Very Disciplined Method That   
     Deals With Any Situation And The Foundation Is Built   
     On Trust And Understanding."   
      
   Disciple Paulie Writes:   
      
   I've never forced my dogs to do anything, I tell them   
   they are good dogs and they seem to follow me, once   
   I told them they were bad dogs and they ran away from   
   me, now I only ever tell them they are good dogs and   
   they always are, always.   
      
   Trust your dog, ask it to do your request and   
   say "good dog" sincerely at the end of the   
   request and I bet you'll find your dog thinking   
   then responding everytime.   
      
   A bit of respect works wonders, the same rule   
   applies to every aspect of the relationship with   
   your dog.   
      
   Obedience and affection are not related, if they   
   were everyone would have obedient dogs.   
      
   Paul.
